Straight A Organization

It’s good to see you again everybody. It’s 2009 and I am feeling
fine!!! Today’s lesson will be more focused on something that I myself
will need to master in the coming months.

As you may know I am a
graduate student wrapping up my MA in political science. Because I
work 9-6 during the week, getting ready for my comprehensive exam and my
class on Tuesday night is not always the easiest of tasks. Coming home
to an organized collection of books and knowing exactly what I need to
review for the next class or study session would be ideal.

Check out my latest book and bust through that procrastination! Available as an ebook on Kindle but NO KINDLE NECESSARY. Enjoy!

However,
after a long day I am sometimes unmotivated and likely to get lost in
an episode of Seinfeld or The Simpsons. Oh, it’s also really hard to
avoid happy hour.

So what does this mean? Well, for anyone out
there who is finishing school or who needs their kids to be more
organized, let me give you a few tips that I sometimes find helpful and
we’ll get through this together.

Let’s say you have class tomorrow
and you want to be sure you don’t miss a beat. Participating actively
will always help your final grade.

My first suggestion is to
review your readings due the next day, but also glance over your notes
from last time. This seems like a simple recommendation but it’s the
little things that will help you as a student the most.

Secondly,
where you do schoolwork in your house needs to be a neat and tidy area.
This is why living with an organizer is extremely beneficial because
Nealey constantly reminds me not to have my books and notes scattered
around the apartment. This is good for her because our place looks
organized but it’s also good for me because I won’t lose anything that
is important to my class.

Lastly, keep an organized school bag
or backpack. Whatever it is that you carry your books and notes around
in should always be kept neat. Do your best not to throw food or drinks
into the same compartment as anything important. An explosive Yoo-hoo
or a crusty sandwich can make for a long class or a messy study session.

Now,
take these small tips and go stimulate scholarship. I hope these
recommendations with give you many days of hard earned straight A’s.
Bon Chance!!!
